Well i am ashamed right now :( i have been doing good for the last 3 years until now. My hair had grew back and i felt normal again. I feel my mother's alcoholism was reason for me starting, but when i was young i think i remember my dad pulling his hair out. (genes?) Lately things have gotten crazy. My mothers alcoholism has gotten worse and me being the only other person in the house is awful. I know others know what i'm talking about.
Aside from alcohol about a year ago she started crack and i again began to be her emotional punching bag, what she felt always has been taken out on me. She never really hit me or anything but the things she has said to me hurts more anyway. On July 4th our house burned down.She stopped crack, but she still drinks.
I have self-esteem issues too even before trich, but when i got trich i then became obese. I am unsatisfied with myself. I only seem to be depressed, nonchalant and angry at the world, but myself the most. How will i come out of it this time...its so bad all the hair on top of my head is gone and rapidly moving to the back.
Sweetheart, my heart calls
Sweetheart, my heart calls out to you because I have Trich and I am the mom of a 17 year old daughter. I wish I could hug you right now. Because I could tell you in person that it does get better. But when you have other esteem issues you have to be strong and avoid any temptation to use drugs or alcohol. Unfortunately you have seen the severe consequences first hand. For that I am sorry. It is so unfair to you and breaks my heart. I am interested in talking to you in depth. My E-mail is raderfancan2@yahoo.com. I'd love to answer any questions you might have. So think about that and I will be praying for you, your safety, and well being in the meantime. God bless and keep you dear and peace be with you. Talk to you soon.
